@easydoublepod is a running podcast hosted by Ryan, Dean and Eoin. We all come from very different backgrounds but have ended up as training partners in Perth, Australia. Generally we talk about running a bit too much, whether that be shoes, nutrition, training, performances, conspiracy theories or just poking fun at each other. Our long runs often take us down some rabbit holes and we thought it could be both insightful and humorous to explore some of these on a podcast. We try not to take ourselves too seriously, contrary to our approach to training. Welcome to the Easy Double Club.

Jake Smith: The Champions Mentality - Olympic Standards, Uganda/NN, RED-S and the mental and physical rebuild

Ryan sat down with British distance runner Jake Smith to chat all things running, RED-S (& football).

It was an absolute pleasure to hear about Jake's journey, how he has rebuilt both physically and mentally.

- How his upbringing in Hong Kong shaped who he is

- His (unfortunate) passion for Reading FC

- Starting out as a triathlete

- Early career successes (60:31 HM / Olympic marathon QT )

- Signing for NN & Ugandan training camps

- RED-S, eating disorders and body image difficulties

- Heart rate and lactate training

- Rebuilding mentally and physically

- Getting back to top shape

- Running 2:11 at the London marathon

- Long term Olympic goals from early successes and rising to the top to how he

- Who he has beef with & who he thinks will win the 1500m gold

Hopefully you enjoy this chat and can get a lot from it.
